A world learning to recover
Our initial region connects open meadows, winding water and a dense forest. Old infrastructure is woven into a natural world in recovery.

01 / The studio
A small studio.
A world of possibilities.
Sevlesmi is an early-stage independent game studio developing an exploration adventure set in a recovering biological-future world.
Our initial project centres on a connected plains-and-forest region: rolling meadows, riverbanks and an upstream forest, with traces of an old water-regulation network. The design emphasises observation, environmental exploration and relationships with creatures. Visually, we are working toward the painted backgrounds and analog warmth of 1980s–1990s anime.

02 / What we are building toward
An idea becomes a world.
A world becomes play.
Our current direction centres on games. These are areas of development, rather than a catalogue of released titles.
Exploration through observation
The game design focuses on reading the environment, choosing routes and using tools and creature companionship to solve problems.
Crafting a painted world
We are developing a game workflow that brings hand-painted environment art, readable gameplay and AI-assisted coding together.
03 / Our approach
AI helps us build.
Players give it purpose.
We are developing a workflow that combines AI assistance with human design and review. Claude and Claude Code support planning, coding and technical experimentation as we work toward playable game prototypes.
Explore & design
Define a game concept, its world and the player experience we want to test.
Prototype & build
Turn design ideas into early mechanics and interactive prototypes, with AI assisting development.
Playtest & refine
Review gameplay, identify technical issues and iterate on controls, clarity and creative direction.
Learn & develop
Use what we learn from prototypes to shape the next phase of production.
CURRENT CHAPTER / EARLY DEVELOPMENT
Building the foundation.
We are developing the initial Plains–Forest region and experimenting with environments, gameplay prototypes and the visual pipeline. This is a project in development; artwork on this website is concept illustration, rather than evidence of a released game.
